State v. Van Voorhis
Citations
- 2024 Ohio 1898
Syllabus
Appellant's conviction for murder was not against the weight of the evidence. The evidence supported a finding beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant did not act in self defense when he shot and killed the victim. The trial court did not err in denying a mistrial based on the State's introduction of suppressed evidence the State properly used the evidence when cross-examining appellant to impeach his trial testimony. The trial court properly denied appellant's request for a voluntary-manslaughter instruction where the evidence did not support a finding that his shooting of the victim was attributable to sudden passion or a fit of rage. Judgment affirmed.
